FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe ‘removed’ from the bureau

Top FBI official Andrew McCabe has been “removed” from his post as deputy director, Fox News is told, leaving the bureau after months of conflict-of-interest complaints from Republicans including President Trump.

A source confirmed to Fox News that McCabe is taking “terminal leave” – effectively taking vacation until he reaches his planned retirement in a matter of weeks. As such, he will not be reporting to work at the FBI anymore.

Republicans have questioned McCabe’s ties to the Democratic Party, considering his wife ran as a Democrat for a Virginia Senate seat in 2015 and got financial help from a group tied to Clinton family ally Terry McAuliffe.

Trump himself tweeted in December: “How can FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, the man in charge, along with leakin’ James Comey, of the Phony Hillary Clinton investigation (including her 33,000 illegally deleted emails) be given $700,000 for wife’s campaign by Clinton Puppets during investigation?”

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said during Monday’s press briefing that Trump “stands by” his previous criticism of McCabe but was not involved in the departure.

“The president wasn’t part of the decision-making process,” Sanders said.

Too little, too late. This guy is an embarrassment to the thousands of dedicated men and women working for the Bureau. FBI and DOJ need to be investigated by a Special Counsel. That would be a more valid expenditure of tax dollars than the current Russian fiasco.

Too little too late? Are you kidding? And if Hitlary were in the WH? These swampers are drowning in their own muck. The nation is on a rebound from 150 years of stripping our founders stone. Nothing short of what is happening could come close to ever repairing.

LMAO. Muck? This is just skimming the Swamp Scum. Trump hasn’t even touched the ameoba’s in the Swamp Water, much less started dredging into the Swamp Muck for the Swamp Muck Creatures. And if Trump ever gets that far, it will take every single .003 percenter to back him. Americans don’t have it in them. Oh, they might squawk, make some grunting noises about freedumb as usual. Invoke the consteetootion. But you couldn’t get enough Americans together to pop a pimple on Trump’s a** if he asked.

It “all” has become a ‘target-rich environment’ for patriots….I would hope that their is still a judicial system that can right all the wrongs done to ‘God-Fearing, Constitution-Loving True Americans’ the last 24 years…OBAMA, BUSH, CLINTON et al ……prison will not be enough.
